Germany's way of making this kind of political film is too skilled, and it makes people feel distressed. The filming is too deliberate and too forceful, which gives a false feeling to the historical film.
This movie is not trying to tell you how bad East Germany was, or how difficult it was for them to escape, but to say that the East German police were all pigs, which also made people escape. It turns out that the pig-like performance of the East German police is called overwhelming strict investigation.
I hate East Germany, and I like and support the political concept of freedom, but I am against freedom as the highest purpose. I can't understand why these two families wanted to flee to East Germany. They were both families who lived well in Berlin. Why did they flee and leave their mother-in-law and grandpa behind just to escape military service? Don't all the Koreans have to flee, for the so-called freedom, have they considered what the life of their families in East Germany will be? How great is it to abandon your family for freedom?
Someone put the label of human nature on this movie, what is human nature, is freedom above all human nature? No, survival and relatives are human nature!
I believe in freedom, but this movie smears freedom! Freedom is an inevitable consequence of reason, and if freedom in turn destroys reason, I'd rather never think about "freedom".
